From the company that pioneered text messaging, picture messaging and multimedia messaging, comes new innovation - Wave Messaging, or Light Messaging, according to a Nokia press release
By waving the Nokia 3220 camera phone from side to side, the LED lights of the Nokia Xpress-on FunShell light up to “write” a message that appears to float in mid-air.

– In March 2003, the WSJ reported from CeBIT about a phone called Kurv, made by Kyocera Wireless Corp which featured airtexting: “The company believes airtexting will be one of it’s most popular features, especialy in night clubs. To airtext, you type in a text like ‘call me’ then wave it back and forth in the air. As the phone moves, a row of blinking red lights along the top of the phone leaves the phrase trailing behind it.”
– A company called Wildseed actually tested airtexting with teenagers.
– And an article from Wap.com (no longer online) several years ago, featured a California company called Neoku.com which developed a platform called haikuhaiku. The article described a form of mobile graffiti, using a cell phone as a paint spraycan, “by waving it into the air to form a word, the text would appear onto the screen of a person passing by”. How cool is that?

This reminds me of the Sky Writer toy I had when I was a kid in the 80s. Of course there was no GPRS in the toy, but it seems like they stuck a Sky Writer on the back of a phone. Cool I guess…

At the Contemporary arts Museum in Houston, Jessica Bronson had an installation of LED lights on the wall which would project words onto your eyes when you were walking by them…very interesting toy by the way…
